Why watch the video foreigners are dry drinking white wine, there is no money to buy down the food?

Friends who often see 007 movies must remember that foreigners drink is dry, Bond is actually a no-brainer drunkard, no money to buy food? Yes and no, sometimes because the crew did not have money to buy meat to buy cheese, most of the reason is that foreigners drink to show taste, Bond if you drink when jerking two meat skewers is a very embarrassing scene.

Our most common picture is this, when the video inside the celebration of drinking shots, they drink most of the champagne, the French translation of champagne, champagne is rich in carbon dioxide sparkling white wine, because produced in the province of Champagne, France, so the name of the champagne, is a classic sparkling wine, the other origins can not be called champagne, can only call the sparkling wine. Sparkling wine. It does not need to be served with a side dish, and Chinese people do not need to drink champagne with a side dish, because the flavor of other dishes will affect its taste. Usually before the party is champagne gold, no one click to eat peanuts and drink champagne, at most a few pieces of cheese. James Bond drinking is used to use for flirting, when necessary and can promote the plot development

Foreigners like to drink white wine called whisky, Bond series of the number one drink is the addition of soda whiskey, soda and whisky are very compatible, if you will not taste whisky, that is how to drink, Churchill loved to Churchill loved to drink, for whisky he, he said why not eat food ah, people just thirsty, want to drink some water, water is too monotonous, must add a little whisky to taste. So the people who drink whisky on TV are thirsty and want to drink some water. In the movies, tough guys drink whiskey. Some people say that the most externalized sign from a boy to a man is the drinking of spirits. And real men, often start from drinking whiskey.

Foreigners like liquor there is also a called vodka, Soviet Red Label Vodka is James Bond's favorite, drinking this liquor to relax. Vodka is derived from the Russian word "water", is a representative of Russia's white wine, liquor, transparent, light aroma, taste fierce, strong nose. In the beginning, it was brewed from wheat, rye and barley. After the 18th century, it began to use potatoes and corn as raw materials, and the distilled vodka was slowly filtered for more than 8 hours, using activated carbon to absorb its flavor. Vodka is loved not only by Russians, but also by Americans and British.

Foreigners eat meat easily caused by dryness, drink beer directly is also a thirst-quenching practice, some TV drama footage appeared into the house to drink a small bottle of beer, foreigners regardless of white wine or beer, the TV inside never eat food, just to taste the original flavor of the wine in the wine, the real wine people are so drinking.

1: is to taste wine

The reason why foreigners like to dry drink liquor and wine, mainly because of the following reasons, quality, degree and culture I asked a friend in California, he said: foreign liquor is basically divided into brewing liquor, distilled liquor, and as long as it is a brewing liquor, then in the number of alcohol above the low "". can "伶 "了,因为国外人在喝酒的时候,并不喜欢那股指刺激味道的,所以他们在酿造白酒的时候,

就把度数酿的很低了,而白酒一但没有刺激味道了,那么在喝酒的时候就可以做到干喝了,何况国外人在酿造酒水的时候,还多是以果酒为主的,基本很少酿造低度 White wine, because in their view, this kind of low white wine is far from a variety of fruit wine is good to drink, the favorite is a variety of wine. So they are more than drink all kinds of fruit wine when they shoot the video, and as long as you drink all kinds of fruit wine, then don't say it is dry drink, is to hold the bottle has been drinking more than can be.

2: cultural differences

Take the United States as an example they like to drink, like to drink, they prefer wine, most of their flavor sweet, more delicious, to give a person's intuitive feeling than the white wine is much better. When you drink this kind of wine, you can gently hold it, taste its flavor, into the throat aftertaste sweet. This is a process of tasting, compared to our side of the wine easily 30-50 degrees, in the mouth can not stay too long, stay a long time "kill" the mouth line.

So what do you like to drink foreign wine? Feel free to comment in the comments.

Why do foreigners drink straight from the bottle? Why don't they get a little something to drink? If they don't have the money to buy a drink, it's obviously not reasonable, take the United States as an example, their per capita income is much higher than that of China.

So why do they drink white wine and not have food?

Daito I think so, first of all, the culture is different, the Chinese people drink white wine is always to prepare a very rich table of food, if the conditions do not allow that will also prepare one or two simple dishes, such as peanuts, shoot cucumber, and so on, anyway, can not dry drink ah, or how difficult ah.

And the foreigners are not so, because they are for the dishes this understanding relative to the Chinese is still relatively shallow, and is that the foreigners rarely drink white wine (deal with the long-term settlement of foreigners in China, may be some of the favorite white wine), in one is that many foreigners will not use chopsticks ah. Do you want them to prepare a plate of peanuts and eat them with chopsticks? You can eat it with chopsticks? The cucumber can be eaten with a fork.

In addition to this, there is also the fact that foreigners drink alcohol, which is also divided into what kind of alcohol, and more importantly, what is the occasion. Foreigners prefer to drink their foreign wines, and they do not drink foreign wines like we Chinese pour a large glass of wine at a time

If it is a beer, then it must be accompanied by some snacks. For example, French fries, fried chicken, popcorn, Germans like to eat sausage when they drink beer

Red wine can be served with meat, white wine can be served with seafood

Vodka is served with sauerkraut, sausage, bacon and so on.

Things like brandy and whiskey don't go well with diets because they affect the flavor. This is also very important.

People who can drink, and people who can't drink are looking for different things in alcohol. This will, and will not, refers to whether they can taste, not how much they can drink. People who know how to drink, the pursuit of wine taste, therefore, pure drink without eating anything, is the excellent way to taste wine. This is also one of the reasons why many foreigners drink white wine dry for the first time. Eating will not only spoil the taste of the wine, but also contaminate the glass. Therefore, many people who taste the taste of different wines put a glass of water on the side, because before drinking the second glass of wine, drink some water to rinse the mouth. Zero in on the flavors in your mouth. For example, if you drink single malt whisky, people who really know how to drink will not drink more than three glasses of wine, because if you drink more than three glasses, your tongue is already numb and you can't drink the flavor. It's a waste. Such as over the pursuit of drunkenness, it would be better to switch to another drink

Occasion, if it is a bottle of beer drinking and chatting, of course, do not need to eat and drink. Party diet is much more, you see some foreigners party, popcorn, French fries and so on a lot of things. Of course, there are pizza pies, and in China, many people do not know that pizza is eaten directly with the hands, and, the best match for pizza is beer.

In addition, our Chinese neighbors Japan and South Korea, they need to drink with food. This is often seen on TV

A lot of kimchi. But the most popular dish is not spicy cabbage, but the orange stalks. Drinking the orange stems are also made with the process of making kimchi, but the taste of crisp through a tough, can chew for a while, and the orange stems have a medicinal flavor, with the wine can not be more intoxicating. (This is a little bit of incense we smoke with a betel nut, the power is boundless ah!

There are also Koreans like to use live octopus under the wine. Remind you that there is a danger of being sucked by the suction cups sucked in the throat and choking. Raw octopus is fishy and tasteless, so I'm afraid it's more exciting than tasty.

And the Japanese drink dishes are much richer than the Koreans. And there are dishes for sake, shochu, and beer.

The most popular dish for sake is the oden with egg. Unlike the street-sale oden, oden with egg is made with only beef tendon, radish and poached egg, and cannot be made on the spot, but the shopkeeper cooks the ingredients, and the customer puts the poached egg in and rolls it after ordering, and then takes it out again. Eating method is very interesting, the most authentic, is to eat beef tendon under a bowl of rice, a pinch of shochu, and then eat the radish and egg white with sake, and then pestle and mortar egg yolks scattered in the soup to drink, and finally add a glass of loose beer as a conclusion. If you don't have that kind of time, three cups of sake is fine. I've always wondered if it came from China.

Even simpler than sesame spinach is shredded daikon radish. There are green, white and red ones, fresh and pickled. Not only does shredded daikon go well with sake, it also goes well with sashimi.

Much of human life is determined by habit, such as whether you brush your teeth with your left hand or your right, which sleeve to stretch out first in a jacket, which hand to use to comb your hair, and so on. And drinking is clearly one of those habits.

Chinese baijiu is very rich in flavor, and is completely different from the taste of foreign wine. This, coupled with the influence of Chinese eating and socializing habits, creates the reality that we are used to drinking and eating at the same time.

So in contrast to foreign countries, first of all, the so-called "dry drinking" of foreigners is usually not Chinese liquor, but foreign wine. Secondly, foreign liquor can be broadly categorized into brewed and distilled spirits. Like Chinese liquor, brewed wine is usually low in alcohol content, and foreign brewed wine is mainly beer and fruit wine, which can be eaten without food. Distilled spirits, although the degree is higher (more than 40 degrees), but because the taste is relatively single, very good in the mouth, so you can also not on the dish. There is also a category of cocktails, that is wine and drink mixing, not to mention the dishes.

Thirdly, foreigners are used to drinking spirits after meals because of their lifestyle and social habits.

Fourthly, I suggest you to try it, if you drink it often, you will realize that foreign spirits are really not suitable for Chinese food, it's not the flavor! I've always believed that what goes well with something is a matter of experience. For example, I love to eat marinated food, fried tripe, fried liver, I think these must be matched with two pots of head to be tasty, if you drink Wuliangye, it is not only sorry for the dishes and the wine, and all eat not good to. Similarly, if you are eating Sichuan cuisine, you really need soy sauce wine to be the perfect match. It's not a good idea to drink foreign wine on these occasions! But if you're eating simple food like steak, it's a good match. And if you're used to and like whisky, you'll feel a bit redundant eating while you're savoring it. The burnt peat of Islay, the floral and fruity freshness of Speyside, the mellow sweetness of Tennessee can't be inspired by food at all, and will be overshadowed by it. Gradually, once you've enjoyed it and gotten used to it, you drink whisky and you don't eat anymore.

In my personal opinion, the reason why foreigners like to drink white wine, mainly because of the following reasons, that is, the quality of the liquor is different, the management of the liquor is different, first of all, the quality of the liquor is different, I do not know if you know,

Foreign liquor is basically divided into brewing white wine, distilled white wine, and as long as it is brewing white wine, then the number of alcohol above can be low. The number of alcohol above the low elixir, because foreigners in the drink, and do not like the stock finger stimulation flavor, so they brewed white wine,

the degree of brewing very low, and white wine, but no stimulation of the flavor, then in the drink can be done to drink, not to mention that foreigners in the brewing of alcoholic beverages, but also more than fruit wines, basically very little brewing of low-degree flavor, and as long as there is a stimulating flavor, then when drinking, it is necessary to eat a mouthful of white wine a mouthful of food, or that stimulating flavor will be very difficult, not to mention that foreign liquor is strictly controlled, that is, what occasions to drink what wine,

Because foreign countries and the degree of higher white wine is positioned as a postprandial drink, that is, after eating a meal in order to drink the drink, because of the degree of these The higher degree of white wine is often more than 40 degrees, and the degree of a high, then it is very easy to get drunk, and a drunk is easy to get into trouble, so for personal safety, but also to the provisions of these alcoholic beverages as a postprandial drinks

In fact, I think this is the cultural differences caused by the countries

Europe and the United States do not particularly like the high degree of alcohol, they are more inclined to the wine, sparkling wines and other liquors. Most of these wines have a sweet and savory taste, which is much better than white wine. When you drink this kind of wine, you can gently hold it, taste its aroma, and get a sweet aftertaste in your throat. This is a tasting process, if you eat food in the process, the probability will destroy the flavor of the wine. I think this is also the reason why there is a classification of wine before dinner, during dinner and after dinner.

White wine is not the same, endure its spicy, in order to taste its mellow flavor. The first feeling of the entrance is spicy, and in order to reduce the spicy flavor of the wine, most people will be in the wine after the entrance with a mouthful of food. The main purpose of this dish is to suppress the spicy flavor of the wine.

But when foreigners drink white wine for the first time, they will subconsciously think that it is similar to what they used to drink, so they won't eat it.

Foreign alcohol sales management system is very perfect, they clearly specify the age of the drinker and the occasion, if the store sold to minors alcohol will be sanctioned according to the law, in the open-air public **** place and non-provided for within the scope of the drinking will be punished by the legal provisions.

And, foreign drinking habits are not like to drink high alcohol, generally we know the distilled vodka, whiskey, black rum, brandy, etc. The alcohol content is in the 23 to 40 degrees, and these liquors are planned for the menu in the wine, can only be done after dinner as an appetizing alcoholic beverages for sale, and according to the different liquors to add ice, juice, maple syrup, etc. blended into a Cocktails.

We Chinese like to drink wine on the menu while eating and drinking, this is our habit, while foreigners like to drink a little less aperitif drinks before the menu, with a low wine and beer on the menu with shallow drinking and whispering, after the menu, the night of the bar in the pure drink is a habit of adjusting the number of degrees of alcohol.

Anyway, no dishes so I can't drink ......

First of all, the conclusion: there will be under the wine dishes

Literally, under the wine dishes, the three words indicate that the wine alone can't go down, need to use the dishes to go down. And you drink wine and other liqueurs, the degree is low, there are not many aldehydes to cause flavor, and some are even very good, naturally, you do not need dishes to go down. And the wine in the meal is literally called the wine with the meal, it is to go down ......

We use the dish to swallow the wine, personally I think it's the higher degree of our alcohol, when you drink it down the throat and stomach are more irritating, they use the wine to swallow the meat ...... hmmm ...... It's probably because the water content of the meat they eat is so low that it hangs in their throat when they swallow it. Actually there is no difference between the two ah?

Also when drinking foreign high alcohol (usually 40 degrees), drinking vodka and eating salted fish, drinking whiskey and eating nuts, tequila with salt and lemon are under the drink ......

In fact, I think this is caused by cultural differences between countries

European and American countries do not particularly like high alcohol, they are more favor wines, sparkling wines and other liquors. Most of these wines have a sweet and savory taste, which is much better than white wine. When you drink this kind of wine, you can gently hold it, taste its aroma, and get a sweet aftertaste in your throat. This is a tasting process, if you eat food in the process, the probability will destroy the flavor of the wine. I think this is also the reason why there is a classification of wine before dinner, during dinner and after dinner.

White wine is not the same, endure its spicy, in order to taste its mellow flavor. The first feeling of the entrance is spicy, and in order to reduce the spicy flavor of the wine, most people will be in the wine after the entrance with a mouthful of food. The main purpose of this dish is to suppress the spicy flavor of the wine.

But when foreigners drink white wine for the first time, they will subconsciously think that it is similar to what they used to drink, so they won't go to eat the dishes.
